Dear Jennifer Lockhart,
I would be cautious about associating the Onomasticon too closely
with the work called Intrepretation of Hebrew Names Onomasticon was
compiled origionally by Eusebius of Caesarea abot 330 AD and lists about
300 geographical names found in the Bible. On the other hand Inter. of
Heb. Names, such as our Bergendal MS 88, has about 5,200 entries and that
is an entirely different matter altogether. It is often found as an
addendum to mediaeval Bibles and is just what its name implies, i.e. a
vocabulary. It was never considered a book of tha Bible so there is no
question of its ever having been considered canonical.
